Plan.It Design, LLC

Plan.It Design, LLC full-service residential interior design firm founded in 2005, specializing in creative, personalized touches that won't bust your budget!

Plan.It Design was founded in 2005, when after 7 years of doing part time residential work; I decided to pursue my dream of a design firm ‘full time’. With the blessing of two busy baby boys in 2006 and 2007, the company quickly became a part time venture again! Now, with both of my boys in public school, I am enjoying a more flexible schedule and more time to focus on a company I love and my pass

ion for interior design. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Winthrop University and spent the first few years of my design career focused on commercial design & construction management. While I loved the experience and the exposure, nothing could match the personal connection I enjoyed making with my residential clients! I feel so blessed to have such a myriad of amazing clients and am always excited to meet new faces and tackle new spaces!

No matter how ‘in the biz’ you are, nothing compares to seeing your own home thru the lens of an MLS listing. Feels like the ultimate reminder that while ‘mass market appeal’ may sell houses, it’s truly the personal story, the real heart & soul of a home that makes it special. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter, but it doesn’t make walking away from the only ‘home’ our family has known for over 13 years any easier.

Primary Suite ENVY! The bedroom remains comfy & cozy but has a sophisticated new look…
The en suite bath on the other hand got a total transformation… gorgeous new custom vanities from that perfectly compliment the fully tiled steam room with enclosed soaking tub, multiple shower & spray heads, surround sound stereo, & natural light -without sacrificing privacy- (thanks to who installed the perfect wet-room approved shutters)! A truly dreamy space that these amazing clients absolutely love!

This was an incredible project for our team, but certainly began bittersweet as the clients had endured a burst pipe while away for the holidays. The resulting water leak damage left them no choice but to take the majority of the interior of their home down to the studs for repair. 🍋 But talk about making lemonade out of lemons! 🍋 Throughput the year-long process they had the BEST attitudes, were incredibly patient with & gracious to subs & vendors, trusted us, allowing us to push their design boundaries & ultimately transform their house into their dream home… including this unbelievable new kitchen! 😍

…a sophisticated sipping room, a relaxing home library, a soaring ceiling game room with custom bar, & a state of the art home theater…all ON the golf course in a stunning gated community? Yes. Please. This was such a fun project with amazing clients who challenged us in all the right ways & trusted us even more! The results speak for themselves & we are so proud to have been a part of it all! (Even more pics to come!)

18 months. Shes been ‘ours’ for 18 months.
In some ways it feels like decades ago & in others just yesterday. In July of 2023, we set foot in this home for the first time as potential buyers & I knew with every ounce of my being we’d call it home someday. I didn’t understand it nor could I have predicted the chain of events that led us to closing on this home ON our 21st wedding anniversary or the sacrificial trust & ‘chance’ would take on my ‘gut instinct’ to leverage everything we’ve worked for in our almost-22 years of marriage on this single investment. I’m not sure there is a purer, more specific way to speak my personal love language. The hours, sweat equity, prayers & tears that we have BOTH invested in this home & this process is both humbling & slightly embarrassing. Even crazier- over just the next 3 months, we will likely wrap up this huge reno/addition project, move one kiddo home from his freshman year at NCSU, celebrate the graduation of another from high school AND sell/ clean out/ & move from the place we have all called home for almost 14 years. To be honest, I wouldn’t change a thing - except, well, maybe everything… This domino effect began with my mom’s illness, loss/estate & our beloved Lighthouse Lodge. If I could go back in time & have my way.. of course, I - we - would choose her. BUT, that wasn’t His version of our story & so here we are, desperately trying to be good stewards of the gifts bestowed upon us. I can’t really wrap my mind around where we have been much less where we are going. I’m just immensely grateful for the support, love, encouragement & prayers of so many along the way. If all goes as envisioned, this fall we will toast to 23 years of marriage in THIS ‘new-old’ home as each of our guys are living their best lives away at college. Mind blowing, heart warming, soul filling. All of it. Thank you for being here, cheering us on, loving us through the lows & celebrating each of the crazy milestones along the way. We are blessed beyond measure & hope to pay it forward every chance we get.

The. Coolest. Back. Door.
We are pretty sure it’s close to 175 years old & is the original front door to John’s great grandfather’s Kines gas & grocery store. The original Mentholatum pharmaceutical ad sticker is still partially in tact. If you saw our previous post about the gas pump we have preserved - this door originated in the same place! I found it tucked away at the family farm 13 years ago when we were under construction on our current home & we had an interior frame built for it to be our office door. We knew it needed a place at RESTOREDonmain & are SO thankful for THE BEST trim guys we’ve ever met who helped create an exterior frame for the perfect kitchen to patio door! SO cool to weave some of our own story with that of this stunning home. She’s truly coming back to life & we are SO excited to be getting to the ‘pretty part’! Thx for following along! 💕 Chris Riley

Sometimes you splurge, sometimes you DIY! For this over-the-top powder room fixture, I opted for the $150 route vs $1800. Feeling like it was a good choice!

RESTOREDonmain second floor bathroom tile ✔️ Painting starts this week & cabinet construction is underway! SO grateful to the talented artisans who are bringing our vision to life! No level of design talent can outperform poor craftsmanship. Experience, confidence & meticulous attention to detail make all the difference & it’s beautifully executed in these baths!
